Hello, are any of you hopefully testing around Christmas?.... I know a few who are . Come and join me in the symptom spotting festive fun and if it doesn't work out this time, at least when can have all the festive food and drink we want...so it's not all bad xxxxx

Stealth - when is AF due? Am I right in thinking you have a very long cycle?

Well my period is due in 3-4 days and I'm already symptom-spotting... but haven't used a test yet. I keep getting tingling sensation in lower abdomen. And weeping when I see cute/emotional stuff. I keep telling myself if AF was due I'd be moody/angry with PMS and in fact I feel all soft and emotional. Probably wishful thinking or maybe the Christmas spirit has finally reached me?

tested this morning - BFN
But I thought it would be too warly so not getting miserable over it yet

hi everyone
good luck for next time to those who are suffering with AFs
to BFPs VJ!

audreyraines · 22/12/2008 13:26

hi everyone, hopefully this month is the month for everyone testing soon.

am just starting 2ww and looks like i'll be testing around new year (possibly before and after to see if i'm allowed champagne).

i'm not quite sure how to approach christmas though ... guess i might just have one glass.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 22/12/2008 12:27

I'm out of the Christmas test, AF arrived this morning .

Arse and cheers (pours v. large G&T) !

ISpyAMincePie · 22/12/2008 11:45

AF arrived today , so won't be getting he christmas present I was hoping for, feeling particularly down this month, starting to feel like it will never happen for me, which I know is silly when only been ttc for a couple of months. hopefully will pick myself up in time to be cheery on christmas day

best wishes to all of you with bfp's this month, and for all of you still waiting

girlwithacurl · 22/12/2008 10:56

thanks twoturtle and olivio it means a lot, feeling quite low, but DP is being great and admitted yesterday that he also gets down every month when it doesn't work out. He hadn't been letting on as he thought it would make me worse, but we both thought this would be our month and with each BFN we are feeling less like it will be. Still, while AF keeps away I guess there is hope.

Vjay so happy about your continuing BFP's, sending more sticky thoughts your way!

Hello ladies, I'm back after my festive weekend visiting family and friends. Did a test on Friday, then again today and got BFP both times. Very excited and anxious after 2 mc's, so will take it a day at a time.
Congratulations to vm olivio and flibberty xxx

...never mind grammar....have been drinking to control fear of pending job interview....

Congrats to the pregnant ladies!

Comma2 · 22/12/2008 02:19

Oooh lovely thread! May I join? I just started 2ww after mc last months, so hoping! Also just fled from horrid other forum where I was too stunned at level of unkindness to post and glad to find nice people with a sense of humor.

twoturtledovesplease · 21/12/2008 20:56

Hi all,

welcome naturelover and congrats flibberty - what fab news!

girlwithacurl (and anyone else in the same sitaution) - hope af stays away and your bfn turns bfp soon (fingers crossed)

I just know i'm out this month - i'm like you winces - can just tell when af is on her way - back ache, mood swings, achy legs etc. Now I want it to appear before christmas so I don't feel rubbish on the day itself!!

am a bit nervous as had blood tests done on Weds and should get results tomorrow - will it tell me that i appear to be ovualting or not?

olivo · 21/12/2008 20:10

girl, fingers crossed for AF to stay away.

girlwithacurl · 21/12/2008 19:19

hi guys, sunny sorry AF got you. Congrats flibberty, hello naturelover.

BFN yesterday, but still no AF, CD36... feel pmt'ish though so not hopefull...

naturelover · 21/12/2008 19:03

Thanks for the welcome!

So I'm on day 22 - my cycle is usually 28 days - and I have a period-type cramp... what on earth is that all about?

I will do my best to resist testing too early all the same.

With PMS I usually get the mood swings a few days before the cramps.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 21/12/2008 18:30

Welcome naturelover - if you can resist the lure of the early pg tests, then you're a better woman than I .

No AF today, so not a 28 day cycle (sure I'm not up the duff), how annoying. I just wanted it to arrive and be done with it!

VillageMum · 21/12/2008 10:39

Wonderful news flibberty!

Good luck smiley... and gilrwithacurl, 2manychips, thinking of you all - plus the ladies I haven't mentioned by name ((waves to everyone))

smileycat · 21/12/2008 07:34

Welcome Naturelover
Well I'm off to the ski slopes today so wont be able to check in till boxing day evening to see if there are any more bfp's & let you know how I got on this month
Merry Christmas everyone I hope you get everything you have wished for

olivo · 20/12/2008 21:33

congratulations flibberty!
here's to a happy and healthy one.

StealthPolarBear · 20/12/2008 20:44

well done flibberty
Hi naturelover
Well I still have about a month to go Why does my 2ww have to be more like a 4ww??

naturelover · 20/12/2008 20:17

Please can I join?

AF due on Boxing day. This is my first month of TTC DC2. DD is 16 months and was 2 years in the making (took us almost a year, then had a mc). Don't want to wait too long for DC2 in case it takes a while so thought we'd start trying now (even though the thought of a newborn and toddler is SCARY).

I haven't done any temping or peeing on sticks, thought we'd see how it goes for a few months before doing any of those things.

I get hideous PMS most months which feels exactly like pregnancy symptoms, so will try to avoid spending small fortune on pg tests every month.
